It's like DC Comics sent Ray Palmer and Zatanna on a secret mission into my brain. Palmer, to shrink them both down so I wouldn't notice what was going on, and Zatanna to read my mind. In current DC continuity, there's officially not one, but TWO Batmen running around the streets of Gotham. Two?! Can you imagine the possibilities? And I don't mean for fighting crime. On second thought, I'll just stick with the original, Dick doesn't do it for me (that's what she said.) Do you get where I'm going with this yet? No? Okay, let me spell it out for you: I WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH BATMAN.
No offense to Mr. Grayson but I'm in love with the man, not the suit. Well, ok, maybe the suit a little but it's Bruce Wayne's Batman I get all hot and bothered for. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I KNOW he's a fictional character but trust me, I'm not the only person out there with the hots for him. Don't ask me to tell you when it started because that would only freak you out more than this list is going to already. Let's just say I've had an unhealthy obsession with the Caped Crusader for a long time. And here's why.
14) Money
Let's just get the obvious out of the way, shall we? He's filthy rich. Emphasis on the filthy. Now, I'm no golddigger and money certainly isn't everything, but any woman who's gone out with a rich guy at least once in her life will tell you it certainly doesn't hurt. "Sorry I forgot our anniversary honey, here's some pearls." Oh wait, probably not pearls.
13) He Has Kevin Conroy's Voice
Why on Earth would an animated Batman get me horny? I've got two words for you: Kevin Conroy. That man's voice is liquid ecstasy. I am endlessly thankful they got him to do Arkham Asylum and the forthcoming sequel Arkham City as well. I can close my eyes and picture him whispering all sorts of dirty things in my ear. And I do. Often. So when I got the chance to meet Conroy recently I couldn't pass up the opportunity to have him record a voicemail message for me. Needless to say, I call myself a lot when I'm "lonely."
12) He's Dark and Brooding
That's Batman for ya. He's dark not only figuratively but literally. Sometimes when Bruce gets his brood on I think he may have actually been the catalyst of the emo movement. Regardless, it's the bad boy thing in effect here. Girls will usually end up with the good guy in the end but we all have that bad boy streak lurking inside us. Much like we'd appreciate Batman himself lurking inside us.
11) His Batpole
Heh.
10) He Keeps His Mask On
Well, at least in Frank Mlller's controversial All-Star Batman & Robin, when Batman and Black Canary get it on in the rain. "We keep the masks on. It's better that way." That line delivered by Batman was extremely disturbing and creepy at firs,t but after I thought about it for a while it was more like, "Yes. Ohhh yes." I mean come on, if you can't roleplay with Batman who can you roleplay with?
9) He's Good at EVERYTHING
Sure, maybe he's a bad boyfriend, but no one's ever said he was a bad lay. In fact, I've never heard any lady friend of Bruce's say anything derogatory about his sexual prowess at all. Think about it. His body and mind are trained to peak physical condition, what makes you think he didn't study everything there is to know about sex too? You never know when you're going to have to take down a crazy villainess by giving her an orgasm. What? It could happen. I know it would stop me in my tracks, that's for sure.
8) He Looks Like Christian Bale
I confess, I've wanted to bang Christian Bale ever since he played Jack Kelly in Newsies, so when it was announced he'd be playing Batman I nearly orgasmed on the spot. If he's attractive singing and dancing he's exponentially hotter bashing villains brains in. He isn't the only reason (I'm sure there were some boyfriends involved) but he sure reeled in the non-comic reading gals to the theaters with his portrayal of the Dark Knight. Stupid Katie Holmes and Maggie Gyllenhaal. I'M HIS LEADING LADY!

This made me laugh out loud several times, because I agree with pretty much everything here. Now I'm horny. Jill, can we be friends?
-
So much win.
-
Well, that's ONE way of keeping supervillainesses in line...
-
Well, that and think about what his superpower is. Being really fast. And if he's fast at more than running, I wouldn't imagine that would make for a satisfying night.
-
Well, I suppose that's ONE way of taking the term "Round Robin", if an odd one...

Being that Batman was my first love(Adam West), I find this list to be AWESOME!! Although I work with a superhero costuming group, and at the next event I'm pretty sure our Batman might think twice before he stands next to me...or not. ;)

As Dr. Forrester and Dr. Erhardt would say: THANK YOU! - I've got a couple more points: What kind of father figure would Bruce Wayne make? Bruce Wayne was raised an only child who lived a life of absolute luxury. His obsession stems from that he didn't get it all - living like Richie Rich plus doting parents. Kids who lose their parents in car crashes or to wars or disease or accidents don't turn into psychotic vigilantes. They mourn, and they realize some things are bigger than their world, and they learn to live for good things in life - even if a bit maladjusted, they go on day to day - because they usually come to terms and learn that their parents would've wanted them to be happy. They don't get to use billions of dollars to turn themselves into the image of their own fears to terrorize "the criminal element" to make themselves feel better. If Batman wanted to solve crime in Gotham, he'd take off the mask, go join Gordon in a suit, and throw his money behind the PD. He'd run for mayor, and he'd clean up the town. Face it - Goldie Wilson from Back to the Future would've made a more positive difference in Gotham. Again, Batman is all about little Brucie fighting his own inner struggle - and as an above-the-law billionaire, you'd just be another pawn like everyone else in Gotham, girlfriend or no. (I'd be living in Metropolis or Central City or even Bludhaven.) So what kind of father would Batman make? Answer: the same kind of husband he'd make - absent at best, but more than likely abusive. How soon before he puts Bruce Jr. into MMA classes to get him to fight the world - because the world was so mean to Bruce Sr.? What if Bruce Jr. wants to be an architect or a mechanic or an interior decorator instead of a lunatic? Bruce is going to act like a goth version of Ben Stiller's character in the Royal Tenenbaums until the day he's going to go off on Bruce Jr. like the psycho ex-Lt. Col. neighbor in American Beauty. And that's provided that Bruce Sr. doesn't whack you just to instill terror into your son. Suppose Bruce Jr. comes back home late one night from the movies? What do you suppose that lecture is going to be like? Do you think Batman will ever let his offspring go out on the town? Do you think he'll ever leave the mansion, or will Batman just lock little Bruce Jr. up in the cellar with the squeaking beady-eyed vermin until he learns to be one with his fear? Beyond the threats to Bruce Jr.'s life from Batman's not-so-subtle gay lover (Joker, natch), let's assume Bruce Jr. actually starts to enjoy life. How do you think Batman will respond to that? Bruce Jr. will be out of that mansion in a heartbeat, changing his name and running as fast as he can. Now, alternately, let's assume you have a daughter. How's that going to work out? Batman's not only managed to kill Jason Todd, but he got Barbara Gordon paralyzed (and possibly raped, but the Joker must've closed his eyes and thought of Bats). How do you think his "I MUST DEFEND MY CITY" mentality is going to work out with a daughter. You think a father who decides to clean his guns at the kitchen table on his daughter's first date is overprotective, you wait'll you see the world's greatest stalker threaten her potential boyfriends and terrorize them. That's assuming she even makes it to adolescence without some severe psychological trauma from having a freaking lunatic dad. Billy: "My dad's a doctor." Jamal: "My dad's a lawyer." Brianna: "My dad's a spoiled trust-fund baby whose rage and inner turmoil at losing his parents led him to become a leather-clad rodent fetishist who claims other people are insane while enabling multiple murderers to escape justice due to his own warped personal code." -- Okay, one more thing... Wayne Enterprises is the biggest corporation in Gotham, right? Bigger than Axis Chemicals, bigger than everybody, right? Then why is Gotham a bigger craphole than Gary, Indiana or Cabrini Green? Bruce Wayne runs the industry and business in the entire city. If Sam Walton had been in Gotham, there'd have been little happy yellow smiley faces and folks wearing smocks employed happily in entry level jobs (and thereby developing the skills to get better jobs later) all over Gotham. If Lexcorp ran Gotham, you can bet your bottom dollar that everything would be shiny and new... and every other factory would be dedicated to building robots, but whatever... So why is Gotham so dark and gloomy? If Wayne spent a few million on streetlights (as a tax-deductible charitible donation) and Gotham had a Giuliani-type mayor who didn't put up with even one broken window, the city would turn around. Street crime wouldn't be so rampant. But Batman needs it that way to fulfill his own selfish desires. Wayne Enterprises - as run by Bruce Wayne, playboy, is pretty much what the twisted mind of Michael Moore thinks capitalism really is about. Bruce Wayne puts on a public facade of not giving an airborne instance of sexual intercourse just so he can publicly ignore his most powerful tools against crime - his wealth, status, and power - and instead he goes out to punch poor thugs in the face. (Joker's goons may be lunatics, but Penguin's goons are there to put food on the table.) Gordon Gecko might sell his mother for a few bucks, but he'd just as soon give you a job where you make him more money. Bruce Wayne, self-indulgent narcissistic masochist that he is, would rather you be poor and indigent and mugged on the street so he can "save" you. Batman has Munchausen by Proxy - but Gotham city is his "sick" victim child. Do you really want to get into a relationship with that? Do you really want to have that diseased mind anywhere near you? Hell, do you think if Batman was getting laid like a normal person he'd keep doing what he's doing? Ignoring that Bruce Wayne is probably emotionally retarded and stuck in one of Freud's lower developmental stages, assume just for a moment (big assumption) he's actually halfway normal. A normal guy who's just gotten a BJ does not want to go fight a clown who's attacking the city with poison gas. He wants to take a nap. If he has to go fight a clown with poison gas, he's only going to do it once - and he's going to kill the bloody clown, because he's got some good lovin' at home - and wants to go back home and get some of that good lovin'. And he knows other people want to get some of that good lovin' at home, too. But this is Batman we're talking about, so his emotional development was permantently stunted at about age 8 and twisted into something unrecognizable. You think Gotham's streets are dark? Bruce is just trying to make them as hellish as his own subconcious. (Heck, since he stalks Gotham at nights, can you imagine the number of couples he's peeped on?) You'd almost do better shacking up with Ant-Man. Or if you want a real bad boy, why not hook up with The Main Man - Lobo? Heck, most Batman villains make better potential paramours. The Penguin is Hugh Hefner with a bird fetish. Clock King might be anal, but he'd never be late for a date. Two-Face really just needs to be taken to a VA burn ward and shown that he needs to man up and get over it. Bane (comic book) is a freakin' intellectual bodybuilder. Dr. Freeze really cares about his wife, so he's taken, but he actually has a heart, and adult emotions (even if extreme). -- Ladies, Batman is not the right man for you. Unless you're Amy Winehouse or Courtney Love. Then maybe he is.

You forgot threesomes with Robin! <3
-
Yes.
-
WIN! XD
-
Aaaaaand you've successfuly killed any fantasies I could have had about Batman. Forever. I've gotta aplaud your technique though, that was a rather impressive dissection of everything that makes Bruce Wayne a fish you want to throw back into the sea before he even hits the boat deck.
-
You just made me think of Bat-Condoms
-
Sir (or madame), I refer you to my Twitter profile: http://twitter.com/TheNerdyBird

I'm asexual and even *I* have the hots for Batman.
-
Seriously, a man who broods (a verb?) that much can't possibly keep it up.
-
I think I've found my soulmate. Marry me.
-
Yeah, even for us guys, Spike was pretty cool.. A bit of Bruce Lee, a bit of awesome.. I totally had a thing for the chick in the movie, not Fay, but the one in military unit that you see walking down Little Morocco with the veil.. whoever drew her eyes, had damned good taste. My girlfriend also has a thing for Spike too.
-
Badump bump.
-
Cool Story, Bro!
-
excuse me It's Dennehy & last line should read: Though I'm thinking it may be an interesting story if you took him home to meet your parents and your dad was Brain Dennehy..dum dum dum! Writes itself.
-
Not sure there's too much source material on ole Rambo's love life, you might have a shot. But you may just become a plot device for his vengeance in some screenwriters rewrite. I'd watch your back. Rambo's lot in life is pain & anguish. Though I'm thinking it may be an interesting story if you took him home to meet your parents your dad was Brain Denehhy..dum dum dum! Writes itself.
-
Ok you got me on 13 so I'll think hmmmmm. How bout this & it's a stretch.... 13. He might transpose his over analytical sense of justice from the street to the home & go Batsh#t crazy on you for "stealing" the extra blankets.
-
p.s i loved to see Christian Bale as batman:)..
-
i would date Murphy MacManus:))>..although my favorite super-hero was Batman when i was younger..but now with the BDS is Murphy all the way:))
-
I'll take both Batmen, please! Package deal?
-
"13. He doesn't wear the utility belt in the bedroom." How would you know? :)
-
Might I play devils advocated & give you 15 reasons why Batman is a nightmare. this is mostly for those who believe more than a night in the Batcave is feasible. 1. The only meaningful and lasting relationships he has had are with men. 2. At best you will always come second to his work. 3. Although there would be no mother-in-law, you would never live up to the notion of his mommy,so even if the Joker caps you Batman still fights for his dead parents 4. If your cool with a F buddy Wayne/Bats is your guy, Best hope is you are his "Bond girl" flavor of the comic. 5. If you have a Florence Nightingale thing happening, guess what? you fix him & he loses his "New Batman smell" hmmm I wonder if the Punisher is single? 6. He's a single dad so back to #2 you now come in 3rd 7. He works long hours, & he doesn't want to talk about his day, he'd rather keep a journal..never understood that? 8. Look at his other ex's of other booty calls. They either end up dead, crazy, half way around the world, or putting on some spandex. They don't keep the normal girls around not good for sales. 9. He doesn't laugh at your jokes. 10. You'll always have a target on your back , either that or you go with shut-in in Wayne Manor, but what good is all that cash then? 11. The Joker is the bad boy not Batman, you'll find yourself saying would you lighten up a bit, more often than not. 12. Brooding gets real old quick. 13. He doesn't wear the utility belt in the bedroom. 14. You'll never overhear him saying to Alfred "She gets me" 15. Always comes home exhausted. :)
-
Ha! Fun article, but Batman doesnt do it for me...Dick Grayson does! Also for some reason Nightcrawler...I have a thing for fictional acrobats!
-
Actually, if you look back, none of the listed points have pictures. So no, it wasn't half-assed, that's just the way it was posted.
-
You sir, have excellent taste.
-
I never understood how people could be obsessed with an animated character...until Cowboy Bebop. Spike totally rocked my world. And thus my indoctrination into nerddom was (almost) complete...
-

You'd be totally disappointed by the Flash... there's another reason they call him "the fastest man alive." Hey, *somebody* had to go there.
-
But...Col. Trautman [and maybe even Julie Benz's character from the last one] need sweet, sweet lovin' too!
-
Thanks to Mike Baron and later Mark Waid and Geoff Johns, we now have Flashes that generate a large bubble around them that negates friction, wind resistance, etc. and unlike Superman, the Flashes can control the size of this so-called bubble. So need for lube when you're F-in' a Flash! Dude could vibrate his wangdang alone and mentally slip a bit of Speed Force protection onto it. [hooray comic book pseudo science!] As for STDs or gettin' preggo, I bet Wally and co. simply hop on the Cosmic Treadmill to redo th' lay and/or NEVER have problems pullin' out cos it takes an eternity [in their sped up minds] to get it on anyways.
-
"I confess, I've wanted to bang Christian Bale ever since he played Jack Kelly in Newsies..." that line delivered by Jill Pantozzi was extremely disturbing and creepy at first, but after I thought about it for a while it was more like, "Man, that's just messed up."
-
Awkward or "awkward" in a sort of porn movie way?
-
I laughed aloud for a minute after reading that. :)
-
Normally I'd agree. But when the topic is exchanging sex and companionship for another person's money or power? That is kind of the correct word. Meh though. We're all whores of one kind or another down here. If you don't like it, don't be a whore. Me, I like being a whore. You might say the prospect of not being a whore is....whore'ific? :D C'mon!!! :D
-
I endorse this list wholeheartedly, though for me with Bale it was Laurie in "Little Women." I may print this out and keep it always.
-
Yes, good Doctor. Wherever there's joy to be squelched, you shall find me... -- K, but srsly, ladies, just don't look for somebody like Batman in real life. Srsly. Think about your sister (or mom or daughter) dating Batman. You wouldn't be all "I'm glad you've found a nice man to settle down with. You two are so fun together." Not even close. He'd be as emotionally and psychologically abusive as a boyfriend could be until the day he beats you in the batcave. Remember that in that batcave he enshrines a glass case with a yellow outfit he dressed a young orphan boy in - and the crowbar the boy was murdered with - to torture himself further into his own downward spiral of "crimefighting". You'll come down one day into the batcave going "honey, I'm sorry I didn't understand your war on crime". He'll growl in that Christian Bale voice "NO ONE UNDERSTANDS!!!" and then his face will go all weird as he stares through your eyes and he'll add: "but mommy did... if you were more like mommyyyy..." and then he'll proceed to make you suffer pain to understand his pain. Now, consider from a non-romantic standpoint also that if Batman weren't in the way, Gotham would be cleaned up by now. Gordon, Montoya, and Bullock are not going to clean up Gotham's streets with batarangs, and after the 100th citizen and 10th cop is killed, they're not putting Joker back in Arkham. Gordon's just going to break out his .357 from the academy days, Montoya's going to the armory to get a shotgun, and Bullock's going to take one of those field confiscated weapons from his storage locker and they're going to whack the clown. And why does everyone live in fear and terror in gotham? Because some rich emo kid keeps his pet demons on the street murdering them. He wouldn't just abuse a potential paramour, he abuses an entire city. He calls it "his city". What a demented, possessive, narcissistic freak. You'd do better to stay in the sticks and marry Earl. At least when he gets abusive you can just poison his peas. Once Batman gets abusive, you're in for a relationship nightmare that involves a cask of amontillado somewhere deep in the batcave. (Again, assuming you're not his new "mother" somewhere in the mansion.) You're not a person to him, you're just another victim waiting to happen who he can avenge in his personal quest for self-actualization. He needs you to suffer so he can get off on fighting his true love. He's not a vigilante out for vengeance - some kind of adult motive like most comic book vigilantes. He's a tortured child who embraces his childhood nightmares - and his closest memory of love is the pain of loss. But go right ahead, sweetheart. I'm sure you're just the woman to fix him. That always turns out so well. Beyond the emotional trauma, let me make another point: Batman stinks. Quite literally. He's wearing some kind of skin-tight suit constantly and doesn't have superpowers. In the comics, he's said it's flame-retardant nomex. Nomex holds in stink and doesn't breathe for crap. Batman also wears body armor. For those of you who haven't worn body armor, especially stuff that goes under a uniform - it gets really smelly really fast. You get to smelling like a roast beef pretty quick. Those of you who've been in theater gigs and worn heavy masks have some idea what kind of miserable heat that is (or if you've ever been in MOPP 4). Now combine it with body armor and skin-tight nomex. It's a miserable stinkfest. Batman probably smells like a morbidly obese WoW player's underwear after five-day session. Couple that with the fact that in order to keep himself abreast of everything going on in the world and maintain his status as "the world's greatest detective" - he's going to come home from a night with his obsession and plop down in front of CNN, FOX, SkyNews, BBC, and spend hours online as a news junkie. Then he'll pass out in a puddle of his own batsweat from the suit (which Alfred will eventually pick up with tongs to go clean) - and then it's time for his "I'm a ninja" workout. He'll exercise for several hours, pushing himself until he's delirious from the exertion, and maybe collapse for a while in fitful dreams of his dead parents. Then its time to get up, put on a tux, go to a ribbon cutting ceremony or talk to Lucius about Wayne Enterprises' day-to-day, and then it's back out to chase his real love - fellow lunatics. Where in that schedule do you find time to cuddle? Where does he have time to listen to your day at work? Guess what - he doesn't. You want to go to the pound and adopt a puppy with him? Tough! He's got priorities - and you aren't one. Any time you ask him "how about some us time?" he growls about "I MUST PROTECT MY CITY!" and stalks off to get in the way of Bullock and Montoya shooting the Joker for resisting arrest, telling them how killing a multiple murderer is unethical. Batman is a bigger douche than anyone on the Jersey Shore. At least their narcissistic infantile preening doesn't cost people their lives. -- Okay, enough hating. Jill, were I a chick, I'd appreciate the Conroy voice and such. You've got some points, but I do feel the need to skewer the sacred cow that is Batman. To emphasize this point, let me ask where would you rather live: say... Charleston, South Carolina, or Detroit, Michigan? Circle Pines, Minnesota, or East St. Louis? Dubai or Mogadishu? Because that's about the equivalent of the difference between Metropolis and Gotham.
-
My man Rambo had great vehicles in his cartoon. War paint instead of mask. No threesomes with villainesses, but Katrina doesn't like to share anyway.
-
Jill, I'm a nerdy male who is happily married and secure in his sexuality. Secure enough to say that I would also make sweet sweet sex to Batman, much like both Superman and Robocop have.
-
With Batman Inc. being in the forefront of the Batman comics, anyone could be wearing that cowl! It would be awkward to be mid session with Batman when Batman walked in.
-
Nope, sorry. I've got to agree with him. I thought this article was kind of half-assed. Most of the listed points don't even have pictures. I think it was put together a little haphazardly. But as I think I said somewhere else, it's just a Daily List, so I don't really give a crap.
-
Not originally. It was retconned to be Mary Jane. It's still bullshit.
-
Haha, yes!
-
I hear Matches Malone has a pretty nice matchstick and gives free mustache rides.
-
Well he did only go almost a full sentence without talking about whores. So.. maybe it is Frank...
-
damn this list is dull. I get it you want batman, most people do, but I gotta say I'd prefer Dick and I've always had a soft-spot for Terry Mcginnis from batman beyond so either of them are far higher on my hot list then the Bat. mostly because being able to hold a conversation for more then ten minutes is of up-most importance.
-
There is only 1 reason I would be unfaithful to my husband, and that is Bruce Wayne. Actually, I'm pretty sure my future husband would LOVE if I f***ed Batman. Hell, he'd encourage our benefits relationship.
-
Peter Parker didn't do that. Mary Jane Watson did.
-
What about the bat nipples?
-
Reason #16: No Mother-In-Law
-
Reason #15: If the romance turns sour, the alimony will leave you richer than J. K. Rowling.
-
"Dick doesnt do it for me" should have been the title
-
you DO realize, Miss Pantozzi, that all of Bats' leading lady either: a) suffers a horrid painful death, Lazarus Pit notwithstanding, or b) enters an on again off again kinda relationship that is just way too frustrating unless you're the few people who "gets" him. but hey, if that doesn't deter you, then GIRL POWER all the way to his Bat Pole for ya! XD
-
I'm such a cheap man-whore, I have sex in exchange for the sex.
-
The top 5 reasons to not sleep with The Goddamn Batman 5. Strong possibility of getting killed by the Joker later. 4. Hearing The Goddamn Batman scream, "ROBIN!!" during coitus. 3. No BatCondoms in the utility belt. 2. Can't just not answer the phone when he calls later because The Goddamn Batman knows where you are at all times. 1. Hung like a Bat.....and not the baseball kind.
-
I concur. Terry McGinnis was totally hot, and hasn't gone completely off the deep end ala Bruce Wayne. (Not that I wouldn't tap that Bruce Wayne action, I would totally hook up with him, or have a very passionate affair with him. But I could never fall in love with him, he's nuts!)
-
Dude, John McCain called. He wants his sense of humor back.
-
You sir, are and idiot. I think its nice to see an article for the ladies. Science knows we need to try and keep them around. I mean, seriously you guys, who would make the internet sandwiches if they weren't here?
-
Funny, though my list would be a bit different. -You get to have awesome movie nights with Clark or the Bat family. -You'll really slow the aging process by being in a relationships with him, given that Bruce has aged around 15 years in all these decades. By default, anyone associated with him will not age either. Batman is one of the only legacy characters who was the original and is still active... and he's IMMORTAAAAAAAAL! -He'll never act needy with you. (Personally, obsessive guys annoy the hell out of me. Bruce lacks time for that.)
-
Fair enough. I'm usually on the page of "Say whatever you want, what matters is HOW you say it." Just thought that the whole comment about it being written in a binder w/hearts all around it was . . . well, kinda dickish. I mean, we see stuff extolling the assets of the female body on this site all the damn time, and how much of it is detailed & thought provoking? Sometimes it's nice to see a gal putting up an example of a desirable fictional dude, and drooling unapologetically over him! What seems lazy and boring to you may well be a "Yeah, right on!" to others. Also, if you did write such a list about Power Girl, more than a few people would probably like it!
-
I'd rather have a man who wouldn't sacrifice our marriage and unborn child to TEH DEVIL to save his elderly aunt's life. Just saying.
-
You kind of miss the point. Like when I said "gender has nothing to do with it". I mean yeah, GRRL power and all, but the fact that a flat, dull list can get showered in accolades because its woman-written is a huge double standard. I read, and enjoy, articles by females all the time. Theres no "butthurt" about it; this was just dull. We're well past the age where a woman gets props just for the act of writing. I really don't care if my reading material is authored by a man or woman, I just prefer it be interesting, and an honest critique is that this list seems lazy and boring. I'm not saying its bad because its female centric, its bad because it was little more than a list of facts about batman. Maybe if I'd never heard of batman I'd be intrigued, but theres not even much commentary beyond the basic attributes of batman that by now every nerd knows backwards and forwards. Sorry you're so "butthurt" that someone judges a woman-authored list by its merits and not by the vagina between the writers legs.
-
Let's face it, Miss Pryde, we're Marvel girls through and through :) I've always loved Shadowcat, btw.
-
Batman has such full control of his body he could probably cause the vas deferens to contract and stop any sperm from escaping so He has no need for a condom.
-
I agree! If you're looking for a fun and long-lasting relationship, Spidey's the man. For a whirlwind romance I'd choose Punisher or Deadpool over Batman.
-
They didn't really strike me as feminist. It struck me as sexually unsafe, entirely too eager to get a family, and financially irresponsible.
-
I'll take that as a net positive, so thanks! Just be grateful TR doesn't have avatars for commenters!
-
Editor's Note should read: "I'm not gay, seriously, you guys!" That was pretty hysterical, Rob. :P I'm now convinced that Spider-Man would be the better lover . . . but I've always been a relationship kinda gal. I guess Bats would be OK for a one night stand, but he's just so. Damn. Serious. All the time! Lighten up, buddy. (The only way I see Batman as attractive is as a big bad Dom in an S & M scenario, actually.) You know whose really boink-worthy from the fictional world of comics? Mowgli from "Fables." My oh my!
-
*Waves hand* Proud, friendly, non-crazy feminist here! There's more of us than you might think! ;)
-
And the Seduction of the Innocent continues!
-
Your username . . . I am amused and slightly horrified!
-
Oh and the "sense of humor" is SO important! No laughter = deal-breaker. Spidey wins!
-
I must agree with you, Snow. Plus I believe Spider-Man would be more flexible & athletic in the sack, and may actually give a crap sometimes about his lady. He was married for a while, whether he knows it or not, he's proven he can handle a relationship. Bats on the other hand . . . you'll prolly end up in da fridge!
-
I want a Batgirl list! Redhead Sexy Librarian Mask Fought Catwoman while nude WIN!

Word. I promptly wrote Batman into my sweeping Fantasy FanFic Epic that has been ongoing for about two years. Completely ridiculous and all in my head.
-
This list has given me one more reason to wish I was Batman; Jill's just that great. Villainous 3-ways certainly don't hurt either.
-
Actually, I could totally see that tantric self-denial thing . . . it sounds like something Batman would do! But this list is more like "reasons it's fun to be smitten with Batman." I think it's kinda fun, myself.
-
HA!
-
I loved Newsies! I had a crush on all of those boys! After I saw that movie I developed a crush on any boy wearing that style of hat. I like Equilibrium Christian Bale, myself. Preferably holding that puppy :3
-
And this isn't the first time! Clearly she hasn't seen the famous Mad Men 'salute' clip.

You neglected the booty!

Thank you. I also find it interesting/stupid that when someone doesn't rupture themselves laughing at insipid stereotypes, they're considered humorless. Really? Thanks, NOW I'm sad that such things are the pinnacle of what some people consider humor. Wow, branch out. XD There's SO much out there...
-
Now I'm doing a Superfriends Role Call in my head! :D

Ummmm . . . sorry, but which feminists have you been talking to lately?? As with all political parties/ideologies/opinions, those who are the craziest and the most unhinged will yell the loudest. Feminism is not the idea that women are superior to men. Feminism is asking for equality between genders, for women to be considered as normal human beings, and for all of us to challenge some of the damaging sexist norms that are insidiously embedded within our culture. You know what? Feminism expects both men and women to display more humanity, decency and intelligence than society as a whole does. And if it doesn't? It should, and that's what most feminists are working towards. Don't listen to the crazy-pants people yelling that men suck and sex is bad . . . they're blatantly nutso. Sorry for the OT diversion, folks! Continue talking about comics!

Sorry you feel so butthurt by a list that was written by a woman. Next time there's a list in which guys are drooling over a fictional chick's attributes, I'll be sure to raise a stinky whining fuss as well!

You don't think he carries condoms in that utility belt of his?? I refer you to point #1!
-
LOLs Agreed!!
-
I'd switch teams for Batman

Actually, after pondering your comment further, I think I can imagine the kind of women you're talking about. I think that the newest wave of ultra-feminism has caused in some women an overblown sense of entitlement that they can do, say, or have whatever they want. These are the same kind of women who say shit like "durr, women are smarter than men" and get offended when people say men are physically stronger than women (hate to break it to you, but our capacity for strength is diminished because of our hormones and other growth factors). The idea of feminisim has become so distorted and abused that it's no longer about equality for some women: now they're practically advocating female dominance or superiority or something. I won't even refer to myself as feminist because I feel like it's become this horrible Frankenstein's monster of an idea: its creators have lost control of it.

LOLs 1st, dunno what the problem is, or why it's even necessary to attack or name call someone. That's trollish. Dude, it's a stupid list about sex with Batman on TR. 2nd, I thought the same things as that other poster as I read the list, and I'm neither humorless nor an idiot. I only clicked in for the laffs, yet 'I wanna have sex with Batman because of all of his money' wasn't hilarious. So?? There were others on the list that were funny, so not finding the stereotype funny isn't going to ruin my day. 3rd, the list reads "my". It doesn't speak for "all women", it only speaks for one.
-
DANG. Can't a gal speak hypothetically or sarcastically without the word "whore" being bandied around??? Oh. Wait . . . I get it! FRANK MILLER, IS THAT YOU???????
-
Wow, you're cheap. I'd want at least Five Guys Burger and a frappucino. Or maybe some comics. yeah, for comics, I'm a cheap lay.
-
Of superheroes....yep, Batman. I think you nailed it, Jill. Now go forth & nail Bruce. ;)
